COMBINED  18  INCH  BUZZ  PLANER 
AND  RABBETING-  MACHINE. 

This  is  a very  strong  and  substantial  machine  with  box-shaped  body  cast  in  one  piece  and 
proof  against  straining  or  twisting,  however  uneven  or  unsteady  the  (luor  on  which  it  is  placed. 

It  is  adapted  to  beveling,  squaring,  smoothing,  and  to  planing  out  of  wind;  taking  the  place 
of  a Daniels’  Planer  on  light  work,  and  accomplishing  twice  as  much  in  a given  time. 

Both  tables  are  adjustable,  the  front  one  to  regulate  the  depth  of  the  cut,  and  the  back  one 
to  bring  it  in  line  with  the  cutting  cylinder  after  the  knives  have  been  adjusted  to  any  desired 

extension  beyond  the 
chip-breaker.  These 
adjustments  are  such 
that  the  tables  remain 
always  close  to  the 
cutting  cylinder,  be- 
sides which  they  can 
be  independently  ad- 
justed to  the  different 
diameters  of  cutting 
cylinder  caused  by 
different  projections 
ot  the  knives  beyond 
the  chip-breakers.  By 
continuing  the  move- 
ment which  adjusts 
the  front  table  down, 
this  table  is  drawn 
away  from  the  cutting 
cylinder  to  give  access 
to  the  knives. 

The  machine  is  pro- 
vided with  an  ad- 
justable square  and 
miter-gauge,  a pres- 
sure piece  with  finger 
protector  for  holding 
stuff  against  gauge, 
and  with  means  for 
adjusting  work  to 
plane  slightly  hollow, 
so  that  when  glued 
the  joint  will  be  extra 
tight  at  the  ends  and 
less  liable  to  open. 

Rabbets  up  to  inch 
deep  and  18  inches 
wide  can  be  produced. 
To  set  the  machine 
for  rabbeting,  place 
the  back  table  level 
with  the  top  of  the 
cutting  cylinder,  the 
front  table  as  much 
lower  as  the  depth  of 
the  rabbet  is  to  be, 
the  gauge  as  far  from 
left  hand  end  of  knives 

as  rabbet  is  to  be  wide,  and  the  scoring  knife  to  project  say 
.j.j  inch  beyond  the  cutting  cylinder,  and  proceed  as  with  ordi- 
nary planing. 

The  machine  is  made  with  or  without  the  rabbeting  attachment, 
as  ordered. 

The  cutter-head  pulley  is  3$  inches  diameter  for  31  inch  belt  and 
should  run  about  4,  700  revolutions  per  minute.  The  counter-shaft 
generally  has  a 22  inch  driving  pulley  for  31  inch  belt,  and  9 inch 
self-oiling  tight  and  loose,  for  4 inch  belt;  it  should  run  7">0  revolu- 
tions per  minute.

:o:- 

The  United  States  Centennial  Commission  has  examined  the  report  of 
the  Judges,  and  accepted  the  following  reasons,  and  decreed  an  award  in 
conformity  therewith. 


Philadelphia,  February  26th,  1877. 

REPORT  ON  AWARDS. 

Product:  Band  and  Jig  Saws  and  Woodworking  Machinery. 

Name  and  address  of  exhibitor:  FIRST  and  PRYIBIL,  New  York 
City,  U.  S. 

The  undersigned,  having  examined  the  product  herein  described,  respect- 
fully recommends  the  same  to  the  United  States  Centennial  Commission 
for  award,  for  the  following  reasons,  viz. : 

For  certain  points  of  originality  in  connection  with  machinery  for  work- 
ing wood ; and  also  for  the  manner  of  constructing  a heavy  endless  Band 
Sawing  machine  in  order  to  secure  flexibility  in  the  feeding  arrangements 
and  the  attainment  of  great  speed  and  adaptation  for  a variety  of  work. 

Likewise,  for  the  combination  of  cheap  yet  thoroughly  efficient  materials 
in  the  elastic  portion  of  the  saw,  tuhereby  a soft,  easy  and  flexible  motion  is 
obtained  for  high  speed.  As  also  for  the  simple  manner  in  which  an  appa- 
ratzis  for  copying  busts  or  other  forms  has  been  constructed  for  the  trans- 
ferring of  the  likeness  from  a metal  copy  to  the  piece  of  wood,  and  also  for  a 
Self-Acting  Saw- Setting  Machine.

patent  adjustable  saw  guides,  as  shown  and  described  on  page  19,  patent 
tension-spring,  rubber-covered  wheels,  and  adjusting-screw  for  inclining  the 
upper  shaft,  accessible  to  the  operator  from  his  position  in  front  of  the 
machine,  and  so  arranged  that  the  adjustment  can  be  made  while  the  wheels 
are  in  motion. 

The  guide  bar  is  counterbalanced,  and  the  loose  pulley  is  self  oiling. 

The  table  is  of  wood  with  an  iron  plate  let  in  around  the  saw.

BEVEL  BAND  SAW  MACHINE  No.  3. 


This  is  a right-hand  machine  designed  to  avoid  the  instability  of  in- 
clined tables  supported  by  segments,  pivots,  etc.,  and  the  difficulties 
encountered  in  holding  and  guiding  work  upon  such  tables. 


9 


The  saw  is  inclined  from  0 to  45  degrees  by  turning  a single 
hand-wheel,  it  being  unnecessary  even  to  clamp  the  parts  in  place,  as  all 
remain  locked  in  any  position  in  which  they  are  left. 

When  a varying  bevel  is  desired  on  work  it  can  be  easily  produced  by 
turning  the  hand-wheel  while  the  work  is  being  fed  to  the  saw. 

This  machine  is  provided  with  patent  adjustable  saw  guides,  as  shown 
and  described  on  page  19,  patent  tension  spring,  rubber-covered  wheels, 
adjusting-screw  for  inclining  the  upper  shaft,  accessible  to  the  operator 
from  his  position  in  front  of  the  machine,  and  so  arranged  that  the  adjust- 
ment can  be  made  while  the  wheels  are  in  motion,  and  self  oiling  loose 
pulley,  and  it  is  a well  built,  substantial  machine,  suitable  for  general  work 
as  well  as  for  bevel  sawing.  For  the  latter  it  will  be  found  of  great  value 
in  ship  yards  and  for  pattern  making,  chair-back  sawing,  etc.

RE-SAWING  BAND  SAW  MACHINE 

No.  6. 

This  machine  will  saw  from  10,000  to  12,000  superficial  feet  j:>er  day  of 


15 


ten  hours,  making  a kerf  of  only  /6  of  an  inch,  and  will  generally  get  from 
1 inch  stuff  two  pieces  thick  enough  to  make  two  f inch  panels,  after  being 
planed  on  both  sides.  As  with  many  re-saws  this  result  can  be  obtained 
only  by  using  1^  inch  stuff,  it  will  be  seen  that  a large  saving  is  effected 
by  the  use  of  this  machine,  especially  when  costly  woods  are  used. 

Of  two  of  its  valuable  features  the  Centennial  judges  made  special 
mention  (see  page  4),  the  patent  flexible  feed  rolls,  and  the  patent  rubber 
spring  between  the  elevating  screw  and  the  slide  carrying  the  upper  shaft. 
This  maintains  the  tension  of  the  saw  throughout  all  variations  of  length 
due  to  changes  of  temperature,  for  which  purpose  it  has  proved  to  be  far 
superior  to  weights. 

The  patented  improvement  in  the  feeding  arrangements  consists  in  so 
constructing  the  feed  rolls  upon  one  side  of  the  saw,  that  they  will  auto- 
matically adapt  themselves  to  all  variations  in  thickness,  and  to  all  irregu- 
larities of  surface,  while  those  on  the  other  side  are  made  unyielding,  to  act 
as  guides  to  the  work. 

There  are  four  changes  of  feed,  controlled  by  two  hand  levers  operat- 
ing clutches.  By  a single  motion  any  one  may  be  thrown  into  or  out 
of  gear. 

By  a hand  wheel  not  shown  in  the  cut,  the  height  of  the  upper  guide 
can  be  regulated  by  the  operator  from  his  position  at  the  side  of  the  ma- 
chine, and  from  the  same  position  all  the  feed  rolls  can  be  set  and  the  feed 
clutches  operated. 

Each  guide  plate  is  adjusted  with  perfect  accuracy  by  a single  screw. 

The  machine  rests  on  an  iron  bed,  5 feet  10  inches  long  and  3 feet 
wide,  and  has  been  much  improved  since  the  cut  was  made. 

Weight,  about  4,500  lbs. 

Diameter  of  wheels,  60  inches. 

Self  oiling  tight  and  loose  pulleys,  22  to  30  inches  diameter, 
as  ordered,  for  an  8 inch  belt. 

Speed,  375  to  400  revolutions  per  minute.

DIRECTIONS  FOR  JOINING  BAND  SAWS. 


Bevel  each  end  of  the  saw  the  length  of  two  teeth.  Be  sure  to  make  a 
good  joint.  Fasten  the  saw  in  the  brazing  clamps  with  the  back  against 
the  shoulder,  and  wet  the  joint  with  solder-water,  or  with  a creamy  mixture 
made  by  rubbing  a lump  of  borax  in  about  a teaspoonful  of  water  on  a 
slate.  Put  in  the  joint  a piece  of  silver  solder  the  full  size  thereof  and 
clamp  with  tongs  heated  to  a light  red  (not  white)  heat.  As  soon  as  the 
solder  fuses  backen  the  tongs  with  water  and  take  them  off.  Remove  the 
saw,  hammer  it  if  necessary,  and  file  down  to  an  even  thickness,  finishing 
by  draw-filing  lengthwise. 


DIRECTIONS  FOR  MAKING  SOLDER-WATER. 


Feed  muriatic  acid  with  all  the  small  pieces  of  zinc  it  will  eat,  and 
dilute  with  an  equal  quantity  of  water.

Put  the  saw  in  the  vise  under  the  top  cover.  By  the  wing  nut  at  the  bottom  of  the 
machine  adjust  the  saw  rest  so  as  to  strain  the  spiral  springs,  the  points  of  the  saw  teeth 
will  then  bear  against  the  cover,  and  the  setting  will  be  perfect,  even  though  the  saw  he 
of  uneven  width. 

For  a fine  set,  screw  the  top  cover  down.  The  higher  it  is  the  coarser  will  be  the  set. 

Raise  or  lower  the  wing  nut  in  the  open  upright  slot  until  the  ratchet  pawl  slides  over 
fully  two  teeth  at  each  revolution  of  the  hand  wheel,  then  turn  the  thumb-screw  on  the 
ratchet  pawl  to  move  the  teeth  to  a position  opposite  the  dies,  and  set  the  front  middle 
screw  so  that  when  the  slide  is  up  the  saw  will  be  held  firmly,  but  not  too  tightly. 

The  hand  wheel  makes  from  four  to  six  revolutions  per  second,  and  two  teeth  are 
set  at  each  revolution. 

Should  the  dies  become  uneven  they  may  be  adjusted  by  the  screwdriver  screws 
near  the  tops  of  the  slides. 


18 


PATENT  BAND  SAW  GUIDE. 

This  guide  is  adjustable  to  any  thickness  of  saw  and  to  any  width 
from  to  1-j;  inches. 

Two  plain,  inexpensive  steel  strips  are  provided  for  the  saw  to  run 
against.  These  are  held  in  place  by  flat  springs  which  enable  them  to  be 
easily  shifted  from  time  to  time,  and  turned  over  when  worn  on  one  side. 
When  completely  worn  out  they  can  be  easily  and  cheaply  replaced. 


BAND  SAW  FILING  FRAME. 

This  can  be  advantageously  used  in  combination  with  the  Band  Saw 
Setting  Machine. 

When  so  used,  the  Setting  Machine  should  be  placed  side  of  the  vise. 
The  vise  is  20  inches  long,  is  worked  by  three  eccentrics  operated  by 
a single  handle,  and  is  as  well  adapted  to  jig  as  to  band  saws. 


19 


SAW  ARBORS. 

A full  line  of  both  of  the  above  styles  kept  constantly  in  stock.  They 
are  accurately  and  substantially  constructed  of  the  best  materials,  and  in 
the  most  careful  manner. 

The  arbors  are  of  steel,  and  the  oil  boxes  are  provided  with  hinged 
covers,  although  not  shown  to  be  by  the  above  cuts. 


ADJUSTABLE 


SQUARE  AND  BEVEL  GAUGE. 

This  simple  and  convenient  gauge  for  saw  benches  can,  by  operating 
a single  screw,  be  readily  adjusted  to  any  angle  from  45  degrees  to  square. 
It  is  provided  with  a graduated  scale  of  inches  and  with  an  adjusting 
screw  for  making  it  perfectly  parallel  with  the  saw. 


20 


CIRCULAR  SAW  TABLES,  Nos.  1 and  2. 

PATENTED. 

In  each  of  these  machines  the  saw  arbor  is  carried  in  a swinging 


21 


frame,  provided  with  an  adjusting  screw  like  that  shown  on  the  No.  3,  on 
page  23,  for  regulating  its  height;  and  a clamp  screw  for  holding  it  rigidly 
in  any  desired  position.  For  simplicity  of  construction,  ease  of  operation, 
and  for  rigidity  in  use  this  arrangement  is  superior  to  all  others. 

As  the  above  cut  represents  an  arbor-frame  arranged  for  lifting  by 
hand,  the  adjusting-screw  is  not  shown  therein. 

The  tables  of  all  these  machines,  being  bolted  directly  to  the  frames, 
are  firm  and  rigid,  and,  being  always  level,  the  difficulty  experienced  in 
ripping  long  stuff  on  inclined  tables  is  entirely  obviated. 

Both  are  provided  with  removable  throat  pieces  to  give  access  to  the 
saws,  and  to  adapt  them  to  the  use  of  wabble  saws  or  groovers. 

'To  rencler  the  machines  free  from  vibration,  and  to  avoid  the  difficul- 
ties and  disadvantages  incidental  to  the  use  of  short  belts  ; excessive  strain 
upon  the  bearings,  difficulty  of  keeping  belts  at  proper  tension,  etc.,  the 
counter-shafts  are  separate  from  the  machines.  In  setting  them  the  fol- 
lowing rule  should  be  observed  : Set  the  saw  midway  between  its  highest 
and  its  lowest  working  positions,  and  then  place  the  counter  shaft  in  a 
straight  line  with  the  arbor  and  the  shaft  on  which  the  arbor-frame  swings. 

All  of  the  following  styles  and  sizes  are  made  : 

No.  1.  Wooden  table,  with  ripping  gauge.  With  and  without  adjust- 
ing screw.  Takes  30  inch  saw.  Pulley  54  inches  diameter  for  4 inch  belt. 
Speed  about  1,400  revolutions  per  minute. 

No.  1.  Iron  table,  with  ripping  gauge,  right  and  left-hand  carriages 
(like  those  shown  on  the  double  saw  on  page  25)  with  a yoke  piece  for 
coupling  the  two  so  that  they  can  be  used  as  one,  and  with  miter-fences 
with  gauges;  the  miter-fences  adapted  to  the  application  of  wooden  exten- 
sions for  long  work,  and  the  carriages  interchangeable  and  reversible  so 
that  the  miter-fences  can  be  used  on  either  side  of  the  work.  With  and 
without  adjusting  screw.  Takes  30  inch  saw.  Pulley  5£  inches  diameter 
for  4 inch  belt.  Speed  about  1,400  revolutions  per  minute. 

No.  2.  Wooden  table,  with  ripping  gauge.  With  and  without  adjust- 
ing screw.  Takes  18  inch  saw.  Pulley  4 inches  diameter  for  4 inch  belt. 
Speed  about  2,325  revolutions  per  minute. 

Counter-shaft  for  No.  1 generally  has  20  inch  driving  pulley  for  4 inch 
belt,  and  12  inch  self  oiling  tight  and  loose,  for  G inch  belt.  It  should 
then  run  about  385  revolutions  per  minute. 

Counter-shaft  for  No.  2 generally  has  20  inch  pulley  for  4 inch  belt, 
and  10  inch  self  oiling  tight  and  loose,  for  4 inch  belt.  It  should  then 
run  about  4G5  revolutions  per  minute. 


22 


CIRCULAR  SAW  TABLE  No.  3. 

In  this  machine,  as  in  the  Nos.  1 and  2,  the  saw  arbor  is  carried  in  a 
swinging  frame  provided  with- an  adjusting  screw  for  regulating  its  height, 
and  a clamp  screw  for  securing  it  rigidly  in  any  desired  position.  This 
arrangement  is  at  once  simple,  durable,  and  effective. 

The  table  is  of  iron,  and,  being  bolted  solidly  to  the  frames,  is  very 
rigid.  As  it  is  always  level  the  work  is  easily  guided  and  the  difficulty 
experienced  in  ripping  long  work  on  inclined  tables  is  entirely  obviated. 


23 


It  is  provided  with  a removable  throat-piece  to  give  access  to  the  saw 
and  to  enable  a wabble  saw  or  groover  to  be  used,  with  a ripping  gauge,  and 
with  right  and  left  cut  off  slides  with  adjustable  square  and  miter-fences 
provided  with  length  gauges,  and  adapted  to  the  application  of  wooden 
extensions  for  long  work.  These  cut-off  slides  are  reversible  and  inter- 
changeable, and  may  therefore  be  used  on  either  side  of  the  work. 

To  render  the  machine  free  from  vibration,  and  to  avoid  the  difficulties 
and  disadvantages  incidental  to  the  use  of  short  belts,  such,  for  instance, 
as  excessive  strain  upon  the  bearings  and  difficulty  of  keeping  the  belt  at 
proper  tension,  the  counter-shaft  is  separate  from  the  machine. 

In  setting  it  the  following  rule  should  be  observed  : Set  the  saw  mid- 
way between  its  highest  and  its  lowest  working  positions,  and  then  place 
the  counter-shaft  in  a straight  line  with  the  arbor  and  the  studs  on  which 
the  arbor  frame  swings. 

Takes  a 14  inch  saw;  pulley  is  3|  inches  diameter  for  3 inch  belt  and 
should  run  3,000  revolutions  per  minute. 

Counter-shaft  generally  has  an  18  inch  pulley  for  3 inch  belt,  and  9 inch 
self  oiling  tight  and  loose,  for  3 inch  belt.  It  should  then  run  583  revolu- 
tions per  minute. 


24 


DOUBLE  SAW  TABLES  Nos.  2 and  3. 

PATENTED. 


For  ripping  and  cross-cutting.  Can  be  changed  from  one  to  the  other 
in  ^ of  a minute.  Of  great  value  in  shops  which  have  not  enough  work  for 


25 


separate  machines.  When  one  saw  is  in  use  the  other  is  below  the  table,, 
at  rest.  Both  are  carried  in  swinging  frames  provided  with  clamp-screws 
for  holding  them  securely  in  any  desired  position.  The  arbor  frame  of  the 
cross-cut  saw  is  provided  in  addition  with  an  adjusting  screw  operated  by 
the  hand  wheel  at  the  right-hand  side  of  the  machine,  the  whole  arrange- 
ment being  simpler,  stronger,  and  more  convenient  than  any  other  in  use. 

These  machines  are  also  made  without  the  adjusting  screws  when  so 
ordered,  in  which  case  both  arbor-frames  are  extended  in  front  to  form 
handles. 

The  tables  are  of  iron,  and,  being  bolted  directly  to  the  frames,  are 
very  rigid.  Being  always  level,  the  difficulty  experienced  in  ripping  long 
stuff  on  inclined  tables  is  entirely  obviated.  They  are  provided  with 
removable  throat-pieces  to  give  access  to  the  saws  and  to  adapt  them  to  the 
use  of  wabble-saws  or  groovers. 

Both  are  provided  with  ripping  gauges  and  with  right  and  left-hand 
miter-fences  adapted  to  the  application  of  wooden  extensions  for  long  work 
and  provided  with  length  gauges.  On  the  No.  2 the  fences  are  on  carriages, 
as  shown  m the  cut,  but  on  the  No.  3 they  are  on  slides,  as  shown  in  the 
cut  of  the  single  saw  table  No.  3 on  page  23.  The  slides  and  the  carriages 
are  both  interchangeable  and  reversible,  so  that  they  can  be  used  on  either 
side  of  the  work,  and  they  are  provided  with  yoke  pieces  for  coupling  the 
two,  so  that  they  can  be  used  as  one. 

The  driving  pulleys  on  the  counter-shaft  are  provided,  when  so  ordered, 
with  clutches  operated  by  a foot  lever  at  the  front  of  the  machine,  not 
shown  in  cut,  by  which  either  of  the  saws  can  be  put  in  motion,  or  both 
stopped  at  will. 

No.  2 takes  an  18  inch  saw.  Pulley  is  4 inches  diameter  for  a 4 inch 
belt,  and  should  run  about  2,325  revolutions  per  minute.  Counter-shaft 
generally  has  a 20  inch  pulley  for  a 4 inch  belt,  and  10  inch  self  oiling 
tight  and  loose,  for  4 inch  belt.  It  should  then  run  665  revolutions  per 
minute. 

No.  3 takes  a 16  inch  saw.  Pulley  is  3^-  inches  diameter  for  a 3 inch 
belt,  and  should  run  about  3,000  revolutions  per  minute.  Counter-shaft 
generally  has  an  18  inch  pulley  for  a 3 inch  belt,  and  9 inch  self  oiling 
tight  and  loose,  for  a 3 inch  belt.  It  should  then  run  583  revolutions  per 
minute. 


CIRCULAR  SAW  TABLE  No.  4. 

This  machine,  although  suitable  for  wood,  is  designed  more  particu- 
larly for  metal,  ivory,  horn,  tortoise  shell,  etc.  The  saw-arbor  is  carried 
in  a swinging  frame  held  securely  at  any  desired  height  by  a clamp  screw. 

The  table  is  set  upon  an  iron  box  which  catches  the  sawdust  and  holds 
water  for  the  saw  to  run  in,  and  which  is  provided  at  the  lower  part  with 
a hand-hole  for  emptying  and  cleaning.  The  table  is  provided  with  an 


27 


adjustable  gauge  and  with  a carriage  with  miter-fence.  A removable 
throat-piece  gives  access  to  the  saw  and  provides  for  the  use  of  a wabble- 
saw  or  groover. 

Takes  a 12  inch  saw.  Pulley  is  3 inches  diameter  for  a 3 inch  belt, 
and  should  run  about  3,500  revolutions  per  minute. 

Counter-shaft  generally  has  a 16  inch  pulley  for  3 inch  belt,  and  8 
inch  self  oiling  tight  and  loose,  for  4 inch  belt.  It  should  then  run 
656  revolutions  per  minute. 


SEGAR  BOX 

CIRCULAR  SAW  TABLE  No.  5. 

This  machine,  although  especially  designed  for  and  extensively  used 
by  segar  box  makers,  is  adapted  to  many  other  varieties  of  work. 

The  table,  which  is  of  wood,  is  provided  with  an  adjustable  gauge  and 
with  iron  runners,  and  it  slides  upon  the  top  of  the  main  frame,  also  of 
iron.  Takes  a 12  inch  saw.  Pulley  is  3 inches  diameter  for  34  inch  belt, 
and  it  should  run  about  3,500  revolutions  per  minute. 


BORING-  MACHINE  AND  SAW  TABLE. 

This  is  a very  convenient  machine  for  small  work,  and  for  shops  which 
have  neither  work  enough  nor  room  enough  for  separate  machines.  It  is 
especially  adapted  to  chair  work. 

The  frame  is  entirely  of  iron,  the  spindle  of  steel.  One  end  of  the 
latter  carries  a circular  saw,  the  other  a bit. 

At  the  sawing  end  is  a sliding  iron  table  with  miter-fence  and  gauge, 
and  adjustable  to  any  desired  height;  at  the  boring  end  a sliding  wooden 
table  having  a vertical  adjustment  of  124  inches  from  the  spindle  down, 
and  capable  of  being  adjusted  to  any  angle  from  the  horizontal  up  to  45 
degrees. 

Size  of  saw  taken,  10  inches. 

Size  of  pulley,  3 inches  diameter,  for  34  inch  belt. 

Speed,  3,000  to  4,000  revolutions  per  minute. 


28 


CIRCULAR  SAW  TABLE  No.  6. 

This  is  a very  accurate  machine,  especially  designed  for  fine  accurate 
work  such  as  piano-actions,  for  which  it  is  extensively  used. 

The  arbor-frame  is  stationary  and  the  table  adjustable,  being  supported 
at  the  back  by  pivot  screws,  and  at  the  front  by  two  cams  operated  by  a 
hand  wheel  and  screw  at  the  front  of  the  machine.  Thus  a true  adjust- 
ment is  always  obtained  and  the  table  is  well  supported. 


29 


Access  to  the  saw  is  obtained  by  lifting  the  table,  but  a reversible 
throat  piece  provides  for  the  use  df  stiffening  plates  on  the  saw,  and  for  the 
use  of  a wabble-saw  or  groover. 

An  adjustable  gauge  is  furnished  with  each  machine,  and  a carriage,  of 
iron,  when  ordered. 

The  counter-shaft  is  mounted  on  the  frame  of  the  machine  or  made 
separate,  with  floor  standards,  as  ordered. 

This  machine  takes  a 9 inch  saw.  Pulley  is  2£  inches  diameter  for  3 
inch  belt,  and  should  run  about  -1,600  revolutions  per  minute.  Counter- 
shaft generally  has  a 16  inch  pulley  for  a 3 inch  belt,  and  8 inch  self  oiling 
tight  and  loose,  for  2£  inch  belt.  It  should  then  run  1,020  revolutions  per 
minute. 


BEVEL  CIRCULAR  SAW  No.  7. 

This  machine  is  adapted  to  both  square  and  bevel  sawing.  The  saw  is 
so  arranged  that  it  can  be  adjusted  to  project  through  the  table  to  any  de- 
sired extent,  and  at  any  angle  to  the  table  from  0 to  45  degrees.  Through- 
out all  its  adjustments  it  automatically  retains  its  correct  position  in  the 
slot  in  the  table  without  any  adjustment  of  the  latter. 

It  is  provided  with  a removable  throat  piece  and  with  the  same  ripping 
gauge,  cut  off  slides,  etc.,  as  the  No.  3 Circular  Saw.  It  takes  a 17  inch 
saw,  has  a 3|  inch  jjulley  for  a 3^  inch  belt,  and  should  run  about  2,470 
revolutions  per  minute. 


ADJUSTABLE 

DADO  OR  G-ROOVING-  HEAD. 

This  consists  of  two  composition  flanges  provided  with  adjustable 
scoring  knives,  which  need  be  moved,  however,  only  to  compensate  for 
wear;  and  adjustable  and  interchangeable  routing  knives  of  any  desired 
widths  from  ^ to  1^  inches,  corresponding  to  the  widths  of  grooves  to  be 
cut,  and  which  can  be  easily  and  quickly  changed. 

The  work  done  by  these  heads  is  equal  in  quantity  and  quality  to  that 
done  by  those  of  the  common  construction. 

When  set  for  a ^ groove  they  take  up  1£  inches  room  on  the  arbor,  and 
for  wider  grooves  as  much  more  room  as  the  groove  is  wider  than -fa  of  an 
inch.  Parties  ordering  can  determine  from  this  how  wide  a knife  it  will 
be  possible  for  them  to  use,  in  doing  which  it  must  be  noted  that  the  loose 
flange  on  the  arbor  is  not  to  be  used,  but  that  the  nut  is  to  bear  directly 
on  the  head. 

In  ordering,  state  size  of  hole  required  and  widths  of  grooves  to  be  cut, 
and  also  whether  the  pulley  is  at  the  right  hand  or  the  left  hand  side  of 
saw  when  standing  in  front  of  saw  table. 


31 


G-ATE  OR  FRAME  SAW  MACHINES. 


These  are  made  in  two  sizes,  64  and  84  inches  swing  respectively,  and 
the  frames,  although  light,  are  very  strong,  being  braced  by  steel  truss 
wires.  The  stroke  is  adjustable  to  either  4£  or  inches,  and  the  upper 
hook  is  provided  with  an  adjustment  by  which  the  rake  of  the  saw  can  be 
instantly  and  accurately  adjusted. 

An  automatic  blower  keeps  the  face  of  the  work  clear  of  sawdust, 
thereby  preventing  the  hiding  of  lines  or  patterns. 

The  whole  machine  is  furnished  complete  and  mounted  upon  a main 
frame  ready  to  be  set  in  place. 

The  self  oiling  tight  and  loose  pulleys  are  8 inches  diameter  for  a 2 
inch  belt,  and  should  run  from  475  to  500  revolutions  per  minute. 


32 


SWING-  SAW. 


33 


Ill  many  machines  of  this  class  the  swinging  frames  being  hung 
directly  upon  the  revolving  shafts,  cause  excessive  friction,  resulting  in  loss 
of  power  and  rapid  destruction  of  the  bearings.  In  the  above  machine 
these  disadvantages  are  avoided  by  hanging  the  swinging  frame  upon  the 
outsides  of  the  bearings.  The  frame  is  of  wood  and  the  arbor  of  steel,  run- 
ning in  adjustable  boxes.  The  guard  over  the  saw  is  adjustable  to  the  size 
of  the  latter.  The  counter-weight  is  placed  upon  a lever  attached  to  the 
frame  instead  of  being  connected  by  a cord,  as  shown  in  the  cut.  In  or- 
dering state  length  required  from  face  of  hanger-foot  to  centre  of  saw- 
arbor,  and  size  of  saw  to  be  used.  Made  for  saws  up  to  18  inches  diameter, 
or  more  if  ordered. 

The  tight  and  loose  pulleys  are  9 inches  diameter  for  4 belt,  and  should 
run  about  440  revolutions  per  minute.

JIG-  SAW  MACHINE. 


This  is  a very  superior  machine  for  all  kinds  of  inside  and  outside 
sawing.  By  a peculiar  arrangement  of  the  spring  fulcrums,  the  tension  of 
the  saw  is  maintained  uniform  throughout  all  parts  of  the  stroke;  and  by  a 
hand  screw  the  springs,  which  are  of  steel,  can  be  adjusted  to  any  desired 
tension,  or,  when  not  in  use,  wholly  relieved. 

The  lower  cross  head  is  fitted  with  dog-wood  faces,  the  end  grain 
forming  the  bearings.  This,  by  becoming  saturated  with  oil,  is  rendered 
self  lubricating  and  never  gives  the  trouble  incidental  to  the  use  of  metal 
slides,  which  the  sawdust  quickly  deprives  of  all  the  oil  which  can  be  put 
on  them. 

Both  upper  and  lower  slides  are  provided  with  adjustable  gibs,  and  the 
lower  slide  and  its  connections  are  contained  in  a recess  cast  in  the  face  of 
the  body.  The  reciprocating  parts  are  thereby  brought  within  the  frame 
and  the  machine  rendered  very  steady. 

The  saw  guide  is  held  upon  an  adjustable  slide  which  enables  it  to  be 
set  close  to  the  work,  the  belt  shifter  is  provided  with  a brake  which  stops 
the  machine  the  moment  the  belt  is  shifted  to  the  loose  pulley,  and  the 
machine  is  furnished  with  a blower  which  keeps  the  work  clear  of  sawdust. 

The  table  is  of  iron,  and  the  loose  pulley  is  self  oiling. 

Tight  and  loose  pulleys,  7 inches  diameter,  for  2 inch  belt. 

Speed,  from  900  to  1,100  revolutions  per 'minute.

head,  the  front  one  hinged  and  weighted.  Suitable  for  heavy  as  well  as 
light  and  short  stuff.  Shaving  guard  and  feed-roll  covers  hinged,  to  give 
access  to  knives,  which  can  be  whetted  when  in  place.  Principal  bearing 
boxes  self  oiling.  Heavy  boxed  shaped  base,  proof  against  twisting  even 
when  standing  on  a weak  floor,  which  will  often  yield  from  the  weight  of 
lumber,  thereby  straining  the  bearings  of  machines  and  causing  them  to 
work  hard  and  wear  out  quickly.  Driving  belt  can  come  from  above  or 
from  the  back.  When  standing  in  front  of  machine  cutter-head  pulley  is 
at  the  left  hand.  Fitted  feed  belts  furnished  with  each  machine.

12  AND  24  INCH  PONY  PLANERS. 

These  machines  are  very  strong  and  compact  and  have  solid  steel 
cutter-heads. 

They  are  provided  with  feed  rolls  and  pressure  bars  both  in  front  of 
and  behind  the  cutter-heads,  and  the  tables  are  adjustable  to  the  thickness 
of  the  work.  In  both  of  these  machines  the  hand-wheels  for  effecting  this 
adjustment  are  conveniently  located,  being  on  the  24  inch  machine  at  the 
upper  part  of  the  left-hand  side,  and  on  the  12  inch  machine  at  the  front, 
below  the  table.  In  both  cases  the  hand-wheels  are  so  geared  to  the  ele- 
vating screws  that  the  table  is  raised  or  lowered  just  of  an  inch  for  each 
complete  turn,  scales  at  the  sides  showing  at  all  times  the  thickness  to 
which  the  machines  are  set  to  plane. 

Cone  pulleys  provide  for  two  rates  of  feed,  and  belt  tighteners  for 
stopping  the  machines. 

These  machines  can  be  driven  from  above,  below,  or  from  the  back.

TWIST  MACHINE. 


This  machine  is  for  turning  all  kinds  of  ornamental  twists,  straight, 
curved,  or  tapered;  right  and  left,  with  one  thread  or  more,  and  of  different 
pitches.  The  construction  and  adjustments  are  such  that  different  designs 
can  be  produced  with  the  same  cutter.  The  work  is  produced  directly 
from  the  square  bar,  no  previous  turning  being  required. 

The  feed  is  automatic  and  is  provided  with  automatic  stop  motion,  and 
the  machine  is  adapted  to  use  both  end  and  side  cutters.

COMBINED  18  INCH  BUZZ  PLANER 
AND  RABBETING  MACHINE. 

This  is  a very  strong  and  substantial  machine  with  box- shaped  body 


41 


cast  in  one  piece  and  proof  against  straining  or  twisting,  however  uneven 
or  unsteady  the  floor  on  which  it  is  placed. 

It  is  adapted  to  beveling,  squaring,  smoothing,  and  to  planing  out  of 
wind;  taking  the  place  of  a Daniels’  Planer  on  light  work,  and  accomplish- 
ing twice  as  much  in  a given  time. 

Both  tables  are  adjustable,  the  front  one  to  regulate  the  depth  of  the 
cut,  and  the  back  one  to  bring  it  in  line  with  the  cutting  cylinder  after  the 
knives  have  been  adjusted  to  any  desired  extension  beyond  the  chip-breaker. 
These  adjustments  are  such  that  the  tables  remain  always  close  to  tbe  cut- 
ting cylinder,  besides  which  they  can  be  independently  adjusted  to  the  dif- 
ferent diameters  of  cutting  cylinder  caused  by  different  projections  of  the 
knives  beyond  the  chip-breakers.  By  continuing  the  movement  which  ad- 
justs the  front  table  down,  this  table  is  drawn  away  from  the  cutting  cyl- 
inder to  give  access  to  the  knives. 

The  machine  is  provided  with  an  adjustable  square  and  miter-gauge, 
a pressure  piece  with  finger  protector  for  holding  stuff  against  gauge,  and 
with  means  for  adjusting  work  to  plane  slightly  hollow,  so  that  when  glued 
the  joint  will  be  extra  tight  at  the  ends  and  less  liable  to  open. 

Kabbets  up  to  4 inch  deep  and  18  inches  wide  can  be  produced.  To 
set  the  machine  for  rabbeting,  place  the  back  table  level  with  the  top  of 
the  cutting  cylinder,  the  front  table  as  much  lower  as  the  depth  of  the 
rabbet  is  to  be,  the  gauge  as  far  from  left  hand  end  of  knives  as  rabbet  is 
to  be  wide,  and  the  scoring  knife  to  project  say  inch  beyond  the  cutting 
cylinder,  and  proceed  as  with  ordinary  planing. 

The  machine  is  made  with  or  without  the  x-abbeting  attachment,  as 
ordered. 

The  cutter-head  pulley  is  3^-  inches  diameter  for  34  inch  belt  and 
should  run  about  4,700  revolutions  per  minute.  The  counter-shaft  gen- 
erally has  a 22  inch  driving  pulley  for  34  inch  belt,  and  9 inch  self  oiling 
tight  and  loose,  for  4 inch  belt,  it  should  then  run  750  revolutions  per 
minute. 

Extra  knives,  $4.00  per  pair. 


42 


24  INCH  BUZZ  OR  HAND  PLANER. 

This  machine  is  adapted  to  beveling,  squaring,  smoothing,  and  to 
planing  out  of  wind;  taking  the  place  of  a Daniels’  Planer  on  light  work 
and  accomplishing  as  much  in  half  the  time. 

It  is  especially  adapted  to  the  preparation  of  joints  for  glueing,  and 
by  its  aid,  a man  can  prepare  about  eight  times  as  much  work  as  by  hand 
alone,  and  the  work  so  prepared  will  be  of  a quality  far  superior  to  that 
possible  by  hand. 

The  machine  is  very  strong  and  is  accurately  constructed. 

Both  tables  are  adjustable,  the  front  one  to  regulate  the  depth  of  the 
cut,  and  the  back  one  to  bring  in  line  with  the  top  of  the  cutting  cylinder 
after  the  knives  have  been  adjusted  to  any  desired  extension  beyond  the 
chip-breaker. 

The  opening  for  the  cutters  is  very  small  when  the  machine  is  in 


43 


operation,  but  when  access  to  the  knives  is  desired  it  can  be  enlarged  by 
drawing  back  the  rear  table  by  means  of  a screw  and  hand-wheel  provided 
for  the  purpose. 

The  machine  planes  24  inches  wide  and  is  provided  with  a gauge  ad- 
justable to  either  square  or  miter  work,  a pressure  piece  with  finger  pro- 
tector for  holding  stuff  against  the  gauge,  and  with  means  for  adjusting  the 
machine  to  plane  stuff  a little  hollow  in  the  direction  of  its  length,  so 
that  when  glued  the  joint  will  be  extra  tight  at  the  ends  and  less  liable 
to  open. 

The  pulley  on  cutter-head  is  4 inches  diameter  for  4 inch  belt,  and 
should  run  about  4,500  revolutions  per  minute.  The  driving  pulley  on 
counter-shaft  is  generally  24  inches  diameter  for  4 inch  belt,  and  the  tight 
and  loose  9 inches  diameter  for  4 inch  belt;  they  should  then  run  750  revolu- 
tions per  minute. 

Extra  knives,  $5.75  per  pair. 


SEG-AR  BOX  PLANER. 

This  machine  is  designed  for  planing  segar  box  stuff  after  it  has  been 
cut  to  size,  and  it  will  plane  from  75  to  100  pieces  per  minute. 

The  stuff  to  be  planed  is  piled  upon  a table  and  is  forced  piece  by  piece 
under  a stationary  knife  by  a reciprocating  slide  operated  by  a crank  wheel 
and  connecting  rod,  a single  shaving  being  taken  off  of  each  piece  as  by  a 
hand  plane.

JOINTING-  MACHINE. 

(SEE  NEXT  PAGE.) 


JOINTING-  MACHINE. 


The  machine  shown  on  the  preceding  page  is  designed  for  the  rapid 
production  of  true  jointing  work  and  is  made  in  two  sizes,  one  jointing  up 
to  9 feet  6 inches  long  and  12  inches  wide,  the  other  up  to  12  feet  long  and 
12  inches  wide. 

The  feed  has  two  rates  of  speed,  an  adjustable  automatic  stop  motion 
and  a quick  return  motion. 

The  depth  of  the  cut  is  ordinarily  regulated  by  an  adjustable  fence  at 
the  side  of  the  cutter-head,  but  when  it  is  desired  to  reduce  a number  of 
pieces  to  a uniform  width  the  work  is  guided  by  two  removable  adjust- 
able gauges  placed  opposite  the  cutter-head.  These  are  not  shown  in  the 
cut  but  they  are  furnished  with  each  machine. 

To  hold  work  from  1 to  6 inches  thick  the  inclined  bracket  with  fluted 
face,  at  the  left  hand  end  of  the  machine,  is  used  in  combination  with  the 
screw  clamp  at  the  right  hand.  The  work  is  thus  secured  by  operating  a 
single  screw,  and  a saving  of  time  is  thereby  effected,  but  for  thicker  work 
or  for  a number  of  pieces  to  be  joined  in  one  operation,  two  screw  clamps 
are  employed. 

The  cutter-head  is  provided  with  two  roughing  and  two  smoothing 
cutters. 

The  loose  pulley  on  the  counter-shaft  is  self  oiling,  and  the  machine 
can  be  driven  from  above,  below,  or  from  the  side. 

Weight,  about  2,500. 

Size  of  cutter-head  pulley,  4 inches  diameter,  4 inches  face. 

Tight  and  loose  pulleys  on  counter-shaft,  10  inches  diameter,  for  4 
inch  belt;  or  as  ordered. 

Speed  of  counter-shaft,  450  revolutions  per  minute.

FLUTING-  HEADS. 

FOR  USE  WITH  MOULDING  MACHINES. 


These  heads  are  designed  for  use  with  any  of  the  foregoing  moulding 
machines  in  the  fluting  of  table-legs,  balusters,  fine  furniture  work,  etc. 
They  can  be  mounted  on  wooden  strips  of  any  desired  length,  and  held 
securely  in  any  suitable  position  thereon  by  means  of  clamp  screws  provided 
for  the  purpose. 

The  head-stock  is  provided  with  a dividing  drum  drilled  in  six  circles, 
as  follows:  6,  8,  10,  12,  14  and  16  holes,  and  also  with  a spring  catch  ar- 
ranged to  engage  with  any  circle  desired. 

The  work  is  held  between  a spur  centre  in  the  head-stock  and  a cone 
centre  in  the  tail-stock  in  the  same  manner  as  in  a wood  turning  lathe. 


49 


SINGLE  SPINDLE 


SHAPING-  AND  MOULDING-  MACHINE. 

This  is  a small  reverse  motion  machine,  with  circular  iron  table  30 
inches  in  diameter,  and  circular  iron  body. 

The  spindle  is  in  the  middle  of  table  and  body,  and  is  of  steel,  resting 
on  a steel  step  in  an  oil  well. 

The  bearings  are  long  and  self  oiling,  each  cap  being  provided  with  an 
oil  chamber  filled  from  the  top  and  containing  a wick  in  contact  with  the 
spindle  and  extending  nearly  the  whole  length  of  the  bearing. 

Each  cap  being  adjustable  by  a single  central  screw  can,  with  the 
greatest  ease,  be  brought  to  a more  uniform  bearing  than  can  be  attained 
by  the  most  skillful  manipulation  of  any  other  form  of  adjustment  known. 

The  bearings  are  connected  by  a frame  with  which  they  are  cast  in  one 
piece,  and  by  which  they  are  maintained  perfectly  in  line.  This  frame, 
together  with  the  spindle  and  bearings,  can  be  raised  or  lowered  by  a hand- 
wheel  placed  just  below  and  back  of  the  front  of  the  table. 

A counter-shaft,  with  self  oiling  tight  and  loose,  a belt  shifter,  a 
wrench,  two  reducing  rings  for  hole  in  table,  and  three  sets  of  collars  for 
spindle  are  furnished  with  each  machine. 

Spindle  pulley  is  2f  inches  diameter,  17  inches  nett  face.  It  should  be 
run  by  a 2^-  inch  belt  and  at  a speed  of  about  4,900  revolutions  per  minut$. 

The  counter-shaft  has  a 15  inch  driving  pulley  with  7£  nett  face,  and 
9 inch  tight  and  loose  for  3 inch  belt.  It  should  run  900  revolutions  per 
minute. 


50 


SERPENTINE 

CARVING-  AND  MOULDING-  MACHINE. 

Although  adapted  to  a large  variety  of  work  this  machine  is  more  es- 
pecially designed  for  the  production  of  mouldings  on  work  which  is  both 
curved  and  twisted,  such,  for  instance,  as  sofa-backs.  These  are  held  upon 
the  top  of  the  cutter  and  guided  against  a gauge  at  the  back  thereof,  and 
a ring  upon  the  spindle  which  determine  the  position  and  the  depth  of  the 
carving  or  moulding. 

Flat  work  can  be  held  upon  the  table. 

Both  ends  of  the  spindle  are  provided  with  cutters,  gauges,  and  rings, 
to  enable  the  operator  to  work  with  the  grain  of  the  wood  as  with  a two- 
spindle  shaping  machine. 

One  of  the  projecting  ends  of  the  spindle  is  removable,  to  enable  it 
to  be  taken  off  when  in  the  way  of  curved  work  being  done  on  the  other  end. 


51 


To  have  the  belt  completely  out  of  the  way  this  machine  should  be 
driven  from  below,  but  when  this  cannot  be  done  it  may  be  driven  from 
the  side  by  placing  a pair  of  guide  pulleys  inside  the  column.  To  enable 
this  to  be  done  an  opening  for  the  belt  is  provided  in  the  side  opposite  that 
shown  in  the  cut. 

This  machine  is  provided  with  one  table  or  two,  as  ordered. 

Spindle  pulley  is  3 inches  diameter  for  a 3 inch  belt,  and  should  run 
5,500  revolutions  per  minute.  Counter-shaft  has  a 20  inch  driving  pulley 
for  3 inch  belt,  and  9 inch  tight  and  loose  for  3y  inch  belt.  It  should  run 
825  revolutions  per  minute. 


DOWEL  MACHINES  Nos.  1 & 2. 

No.  1 is  a small  hand-feed  machine  for  making  dowel  sticks  up  to  f of 
an  inch  in  diameter.  Pulley  is  2§  inches  diameter  for  ly  inch  belt,  and 
should  run  3,500  to  4,000  revolutions  per  minute. 

No.  2 is  a very  accurate  machine  with  automatic  feed,  and  designed 
more  particularly  for  making  hammer  sticks  for  piano  actions,  but  capable 
of  making  sticks  up  to  T9y  inch  diameter.  Cone  pulleys  provide  for  two 
rates  of  feed,  and  interchangable  feed  rolls  and  cutter-heads  for  different 
sizes  of  sticks. 

Tight  and  loose  pulleys  are  8 inches  diameter  for  2 inch  belt,  and 
should  run  580  to  670  revolutions  per  minute. 


52 


SAND-PAPERING-  MACHINE  No.  1. 

This  is  a very  simple,  efficient  machine.  Sand-paper  is  cut  to  templets 


53 


and  the  edges  brought  together  and  joined  by  glueing  a strip  of  tough  paper 
under  them.  When  this  has  become  dry  the  paper  is  slightly  dampened 
everywhere  except  at  the  joint  and  is  then  slipped  on  the  taper  drums.  In 
drying  it  shrinks  and  becomes  tight  and  smooth  upon  the  rubber  covering 
with  which  the  drums  are  provided.  These  are  of  different  sizes  to  fit  dif- 
ferent curves  in  the  work. 

Flat  work  is  done  upon  the  table.  This  is  hinged  and  provided  with 
an  adjusting  screw  to  regulate  its  height,  and  it  can  be  raised  to  give  access 
to  the  drum. 

When  sand-paper  is  applied  in  this  way  every  grain  is  brought  into 
contact  with  the  work,  whereas  only  the  larger  grains  cut  when  it  is  used 
on  the  faces  of  revolving  disks,  as  in  some  machines  of  this  class.  Further- 
more, when  used  on  drums  it  is  offered  ample  opportunity  to  clear  itself  of 
dust;  it  therefore  does  not  become  clogged,  and,  as  a consequence,  it  lasts 
longer  and  does  more  and  better  work  than  when  used  on  disks. 

The  drums  are  12,  8,  5 and  2 inches  in  diameter,  each  12  inches  long, 
and  the  loose  pulley  is  self  oiling. 

The  tight  and  loose  pulleys  are  8 inches  diameter  for  4 inch  belt,  and 
should  run  700  to  750  revolutions  per  minute. 

Should  the  rubber  covering  be  accidentally  injured  it  can  be  turned 
down  with  a piece  of  sand-paper  on  a block,  or  if  destroyed  it  can  be  re- 
placed by  a piece  of  carpet. 

When  the  machine  is  wanted  for  straight  work  only,  it  is  made  with 
two  tables,  and  with  only  two  drums,  one  on  each  end  of  the  spindle. 

For  very  large  straight  work  a larger  two-table  machine  is  made,  with 
drums  12  inches  in  diameter  and  24  inches  long.  This  is  built  only  to 
order.

SAND-PAPERING-  MACHINE  No.  2 . 

This  machine  is  designed  for  the  sand-papering  of  both  straight  and 
curved  work  where  it  is  desirable  to  produce  square  corners  and  true  faces. 


55 


With  the  ordinary  machine  too  much  depends  upon  the  skill  of  the 
workman  in  the  smoothing  of  such  work.  With  this  machine  a boy  can 
produce  better  results  on  many  classes  of  curved  work  than  a skilled  work- 
man with  the  old  style  of  machine.  The  work  being  supported  on  the 
table  is  of  necessity  always  true  with  the  vertical  drum,  and  nothing  but 
square  work  can  result. 

Interchangable  vertical  drums  are  furnished  with  each  machine,  any 
one  of  which  can  he  easily  and  quickly  placed  on  the  spindle  without  re- 
moving the  standard  which  supports  its  upper  end. 

Sand-paper  is  cut  to  templets  and  the  edges  brought  together  and 
joined  by  glueing  strips  of  tough  paper  under  them.  When  these  have  be- 
come dry  the  paper  is  slightly  moistened  everywhere  exceqtt  at  the  joints, 
and  is  then  slipped  on  the  drums,  where,  in  drying,  it  becomes  smooth 
and  tight.  This,  in  the  case  of  the  horizontal  drums,  which  are  tapered 
and  rubber  covered,  is  sufficient  to  hold  it;  but  in  the  case  of  the  vertical 
drums,  which  are  straight,  it  is  still  further  held  by  their  expansion  when 
they  are  secured  in  position,  they  being  split  on  one  side  and  provided  with 
internal  cones  which  are  forced  into  them  by  screwing  down  the  spindle 
nut.  Besides  their  rotary  motion  these  vertical  drums  receive  a slow  verti- 
cal motion,  the  length  of  which  is  variable  at  the  operator’s  pleasure,  and 
which  provides  for  using  the  full  face  of  the  drum  even  on  narrow  work, 
and  also  prevents  the  formation  of  ridges  or  grooves  in  the  work. 

Flat  work  is  done  on  the  side  table.  This  is  hinged  and  provided  with 
an  adjusting  screw  to  regulate  its  height,  and  it  can  be  raised  to  give  access 
to  the  drum. 

Should  the  rubber  covering  be  accidentally  injured  it  can  be  turned 
down  by  a juece  of  sand-paper  on  a block,  or,  if  destroyed,  it  can  be  re- 
placed by  a piece  of  carpet. 

The  horizontal  drums  are  12,  S,  5 and  2 inches  in  diameter,  each  12 
inches  long,  and  the  vertical  drums  2,  4 and  6 inches  in  diameter,  12  inches 
long.  The  vertical  movement  of  the  latter  is  variable  from  0 to  inches. 

Counter-shaft  has  self  oiling  loose  and  tight  pulleys,  10  inches  diame- 
ter for  4 inch  belt,  and  should  run  400  revolutions  per  minute. 


56 


This  machine  is  adapted  to  a large  variety  of  work,  including  rosette 
cutting  and  mortising.  The  latter  is  done  by  a cutter,  cutting  at  both  end 
and  sides,  producing,  when  the  work  is  moved  sideways,  a mortise  with 
half  round  ends. 


HORIZONTAL  BORING  MACHINE. 


57 


The  spindle  is  of  steel  fitted  to  a steel  tube  with  which  it  revolves  and 
in  which  it  slides.  The  wear  is  thus  confined  to  the  tube  where  it  can  be 
easily  taken  up  by  the  adjustable  caps.  When  spindles  slide  in  the  same 
bearings  in  which  they  revolve  they  become  smaller  at  one  part  than  at 
another  and  a perfect  adjustment  is  then  impossible. 

The  spindle  has  a longitudinal  movement  of  six  inches,  and  it  is  pro- 
vided with  an  adjustable  gibbed  stop  collar. 

The  table  has  a movement  of  ten  inches  in  the  direction  of  the  length 
of  the  spindle  to  enable  it  to  be  set  close  to  bits  of  various  lengths  and  to 
enable  rosette  and  mortising  cutters  to  be  used  close  to  the  bearings,  it  also 
has  a vertical  movement  of  twelve,  and  a lateral  movement  of  fourteen 
inches.  The  latter  is  effected  through  the  hand-wheel  in  front,  and  its  ex- 
tent can  be  limited  by  two  adjustable  stops  provided  for  the  purpose. 

The  table  is  also  provided  with  an  adjustable  square  and  miter  gauge, 
an  adjustable  clamp,  an  iron  fence  with  tapered  dove-tailed  ends  forfacilita- 
ting  the  application  of  special  wooden  fences,  and  Avith  scales  for  setting 
to  sizes. 

All  the  slides  are  provided  with  adjustable  gibs  and  the  main  bearings 
with  adjustable  caps. 

The  height  of  the  treadle  is  adjustable  to  enable  the  operator  to  set  it 
low  when  boring  short  holes,  so  that  he  will  not  have  to  raise  his  foot  un- 
necessarily high. 

The  loose  pulley  is  self  oiling  and  the  machine  can  be  driven  from 
above,  beloAv,  or  from  either  side. 

To  accommodate  any  possible  position  of  the  belt,  the  belt  shifter  is 
fitted  to  both  sides  of  the  machine,  so  that  it  can  be  used  on  either,  and  the 
fork  can  be  turned  either  up  or  down. 

The  self  oiling  tight  and  loose  pulleys  are  7 inches  diameter  for  3 inch 
belt,  and  should  run  from  900  to  1,100  revolutions  per  minute. 

Weight,  about  735  lbs. 


58 


TWO  SPINDLE 

BORING-  AND  MORTISING-  MACHINES 

Nos.  2 and  3. 


These  machines  are  designed  to  perform  with  accuracy,  and  in  one 
operation  that  class  of  work  in  which  two  holes  are  to  be  bored  at  a given 
distance  and  angle,  as  in  doweling,  and  in  frame,  chair  and  cabinet  work. 

In  each  machine  the  two  spindles  are  mounted  on  an  adjustable  head 
which  enables  them  to  be  set  to  any  angle  from  the  horizontal,  as  shown  in 
the  cut,  to  the  vertical,  where  one  would  be  over  the  other;  and  to  any  dis- 


59 


tance  between  centres,  from  one  to  five  inches  with  the  No.  3 machine,  or 
from  one  to  sixteen  with  the  No.  2. 

The  table  has  a vertical  movement  of  12  inches  from  the  spindles  down, 
slides  forward  and  back,  and  when  ordered  for  mortising,  sideways  also. 
Adjustable  stops  determine  the  extent  of  these  motions. 

Mortising  is  done  with  a revolving  cutter  cutting  on  both  end  and  side, 
producing,  when  the  work  is  moved  sideways,  a mortise  with  half  round 
ends. 

When  only  one  spindle  is  to  be  used,  it  may  be  disconnected  from  the 
large  gear  wheel  by  loosening  and  drawing  back  the  bracket  which  supports 
the  latter.  This  should  be  done  whenever  the  machine  is  to  be  used  for 
mortising,  for  then  the  belt  may  be  run  upon  the  small  pulley  and  the 
spindle  be  driven  at  the  high  speed  required  without  injury  to  the  gears. 

For  boring,  the  belt  should  be  run  upon  the  large  pulley,  as  so  high  a 
speed  is  not  necessary  for  boring  as  for  mortising. 

The  spindles  and  their  pinions  are  of  steel  and  the  bearings  are 
adjustable. 

A counter-shaft  and  a wrench  accompany  each  machine. 

In  ordering,  please  state  whether  the  machine  is  wanted  for  mortising 
and  boring  or  for  boring  only. 

Weight  of  No.  3,  about  510  lbs.;  No.  2,  about  600  lbs. 

Speed  of  counter-shafts,  950  to  1,000  revolutions  per  minute. 

JENNING’S  DOWEL  BITS. 

Made  extra  strong  to  order,  and  threaded  to  fit  the  above  machine 
kept  always  on  hand. 


60 


VERTICAL  BORING-  SPINDLE. 


This  spindle  is  adapted  to  general  work  and  it  will  bore  holes  up  to 
about  six  inches  deep.  In  placiug  it  care  must  be  taken  to  arrange  it  so 


61 


that  when  the  spindle  is  up  the  belt  will  run  upon  the  loose  pulley,  which 
is  the  lower  one.  This  can  be  done  by  driving  at  a quarter  twist  from  the 
main  shaft.  Thert  when  the  bit  is  fed  down  to  the  work  the  belt  will  run 
upon  the  long  tight  pulley  and  start  the  spindle.  When  the  latter  is  re- 
leased and  drawn  up  by  the  spring,  the  belt  returns  to  the  loose  pulley  and 
the  spindle  stops.  Thus  a counter-shaft  and  belt  shifter  are  dispensed 
with. 

Spindles  are  from  1 to  l£  inches,  and  the  pulleys  from  3 to  5 inches  in 
diameter,  as  ordered.  All  are  provided  with  adjustable  stop  collars  for 
determining  the  depth  of  the  boring. 

A table  is  furnished  only  when  especially  ordered.  For  some  large 
work  it  is  not  needed. 

In  ordering  state  size  of  spindle  and  diameter  of  pulley  wanted,  and 
give  height  of  main  shaft  above  the  floor,  distance  from  main  shaft  to  the 
floor  above,  size  of  driving  pulley  to  be  used,  and  distance  required  from 
floor  to  end  of  spindle  when  the  latter  is  up. 

The  speed  should  be  from  800  to  3,000  revolutions  per  minute  accord- 
ing to  the  general  character  of  the  work. 

When  most  of  the  work  is  in  soft  woods  with  small  bits  the  speed  can 
be  much  greater  than  when  it  is  in  hard  woods  with  large  bits.  For  gen- 
eral work  a speed  of  from  900  to  1,200  is  about  right. 


WAVE  MOULDING-  MACHINE. 


This  machine  has  automatic  feed  with  self-acting  stop  motion  which 
stops  the  feed  when  the  cut  has  reached  the  proper  depth.  This  feed  is 
operated  upon  a new  principle  which  obviates  much  of  the  wear  to  which 
the  forms  and  racks  on  machines  of  the  old  style  are  subjected.  The  motion 
of  the  table  is  automatic,  and  the  machine  is  operated  by  a single  belt.

VERTICAL  BORING  MACHINE. 


This  machine  is  designed  for  fine,  accurate  work,  and  is  adapted  to 
both  boring  and  small  rosette  cutting. 

The  frame  is  of  iron,  the  spindle  of  steel,  fitted  to  a steel  tube  with 
which  it  revolves,  and  in  which  it  slides  longitudinally.  The  wear  is  thus 
confined  to  the  tube  where  it  can  be  easily  taken  up  by  the  adjustable  boxes 
provided  for  the  purpose.  The  spindle  can  be  moved  by  either  foot  or  hand, 
and  the  depth  of  the  boring  can  be  regulated  by  an  adjustable  stop-screw 
provided  for  the  purpose. 

The  pulley  is  3 inches  diameter  for  24  inch  belt.  The  spindle  has  a 
longitudinal  motion  of  three  inches,  and  it  can  be  run  at  a very  high  rate 
of  speed. 


SQUARING-  LATHE. 

PATENTED. 

This  lathe  is  designed  for  turning  scpiare  balusters,  table  legs,  etc.  It 
is  so  constructed  that  about  30  balusters  can  be  turned  at  one  time,  result- 
ing in  the  production  of  work  which  is  cheaper  as  well  as  more  handsome 
than  the  round  work. 

The  machine  is  so  constructed  that  the  whole  length  of  the  blank  can 
be  turned  with  the  exception  of  about  4 inch  of  one  end. 

It  is  provided  with  an  automatic  device  which  temporarily  sustains  the 
blanks  during  the  operation  of  filling  the  lathe  and  previous  to  the  final 
clamping.  In  ordering,  give  the  sizes  of  all  blanks  to  be  operated  upon. 


64 


WOOD  TURNING-  LATHES. 


These  are  designed  for  use  with  wooden  shears.  They  are  very  accur- 
ately constructed  and  are  very  strong.  Having  long  bearings  the  spindles. 


65 


which  are  of  steel,  can  be  run  at  a high  rate  of  speed.  The  heads  and  rests 
are  planed  on  the  bottom  and  the  workmanship  throughout  is  of  the  best. 

Two  hollow  chucks,  two  face  plates  with  tapered  screws,  one  male  and 
one  female  centre,  one  single  and  one  double  spur  centre,  two  single  and 
two  double  rests,  two  rest  banks,  screw-bolts,  hand  wheels,  and  a complete 
counter-shaft  with  self  oiling  loose  pulley  and  self  oiling  hangers  are  fur- 
nished with  each  lathe. 

Shears  and  legs  are  furnished  only  when  ordered. 

For  pattern  making,  moulding,  or  other  large  work  the  spindles  of  the 
Nos.  6 and  7 lathes  are,  when  so  ordered,  provided  with  screws  on  both 
ends,  and  with  two  extra  face  plates  for  the  outer  ends  of  the  spindles. 
When  so  arranged  the  screws  for  taking  up  the  end  wear  are  held  in  remov- 
able brackets.  When  these  brackets  are  taken  off  and  the  outer  ends  of  the 
spindles  are  used,  the  wear  is  taken  up  by  bringing  the  tail  centres  against 
the  inner  ends. 

Four  sizes  are  made,  as  follows: 

No.  4,  swings  12  inches. 

“ 5,  “ 14  “ 

“ 6,  “ 18  “ 

“ 7,  “ 22  “ 

Extra  large  moulding  lathes  made  to  order. 


66 


CARVING-  MACHINE  No.  1. 


PATENTED. 

67 


This  machine  is  designed  for  carving  busts,  statuettes,  medallions,  etc. 
It  will  produce  several  sizes  from  one  pattern,  either  enlarged  or  reduced. 

The  pattern  and  work  can  be  tipped  to  any  angle  in  either  direction, 
and  can  be  moved  back  and  forth  by  turning  the  hand-wheel  at  the  front 
of  the  machine. 

A spring  from  above,  not  shown  in  the  cut,  balances  the  weight  of  the 
arm  carrying  the  cutter  and  the  forming  pin,  and  enables  it  to  be  moved 
easily  up  and  down,  and  sideways. 

The  machine  is  six  feet  long,  four  feet  high,  and  two  feet  six  inches 
wide.  It  will  take  in  work  18  inches  long,  and  will  swing  10  inches. 

Speed,  8,000  to  9,000  revolutions  per  minute. 

PIANO  LEO  CARVING-  MACHINE  No.  2. 

Although  especially  designed  for  carving  legs  for  grand  and  square 
pianos,  this  machine  is  equally  well  adapted  to  the  carving  of  busts,  statu- 
ettes, etc. 

The  cutter  and  forming  pin  are  carried  in  a balanced  frame  which  is 
moved  up  and  down  to  follow  the  pattern. 

The  work  and  pattern  are  carried  upon  a compound  system  of  carriages 
which  enables  them  to  be  inclined,  turned  on  their  centres,  and  moved 
lengthways  and  sideways. 

The  machine  will  take  in  work  24  inches  long,  and  will  swing  18  inches. 
Gaps  in  the  holders  provide  for  the  large  tops  of  grand  piano  legs. 


BLOCK  FACING  MACHINE 

FOR 

ENGRAVERS,  ELECTROTYPERS  AND  STEREOTYPERS. 

This  machine  operates  like  a lathe  with  a cross  feed.  For  small  work 
it  takes  the  place  of  a Daniells’  Planer,  and  does  more  work  with  less 
power,  and  less  care  and  trouble. 

The  block  to  be  faced  is  placed  upon  a face  plate  driven  by  a cone 
pulley,  and  is  held  by  side  clamps  operated  by  right  and  left  hand  screws. 
It  is  then  revolved  against  cutting  tools  which  are  fed  across  its  face  making 
a smooth  cut  and  producing  a perfectly  true  flat  surface. 

This  machine  will  face  blocks  14  inches  square. 


68 


ROUTING  MACHINE. 

This  machine  is  designed  for  the  use  of  Stereotypers,  Electrotypers, 
and  Engravers,  in  cutting  out  the  blank  spaces  in  plates  and  blocks. 

The  spindle  is  of  steel  fitted  to  a steel  tube  with  which  it  revolves,  and 
in  which  it  slides  longitudinally.  The  wear  is  thus  confined  to  the  tube 
where  it  is  easily  taken  up  by  means  provided  for  the  purpose,  and  the 


69 


trouble  experienced  with  machines  where  the  spindle  slides  in  the  same 
bearings  in  which  it  revolves  is  wholly  avoided. 

The  spindle  head  is  carried  on  a lever  connected  by  a universal  joint  to 
a swinging  arm.  As  this  arm  is  strongly  webbed  and  is  provided  with  a 
long  bearing  on  the  outside  of  the  sleeve  forming  the  upper  bearing  for  the 
vertical  shaft  at  the  corner  of  the  machine,  additional  supports  are  dis- 
pensed with,  and  the  table  is  left  clear  for  the  reception  of  large  work. 

Both  the  spindle  head  and  the  stud  carrying  the  intermediate  pulley 
are  movable,  to  enable  them  to  be  shifted  to  take  up  the  slack  of  the  belt. 

The  spindle  has  a vertical  adjustment  of  If  inches,  sufficient  to  adapt 
it  to  both  mounted  and  unmounted  plates,  and  the  clamps  are  made  double 
faced  and  reversible  to  fit  both  kinds  of  work. 

Either  a spring  rest  for  keeping  the  cutter  from  the  work  until  the 
lever  is  depressed,  or  a solid  rest  as  shown  in  the  above  cut,  is  furnished  as 
ordered,  but  the  solid  rest  is  recommended  as  being  safer  and  more 
convenient. 

The  table  will  take  on  a plate  24x32  inches  which  can  be  completely 
routed  without  being  shifted  more  than  once. 

Six  cutters,  from  -fa  to  f inch  in  diameter,  and  a tool  box  fitting  the 
side  of  the  body  accompany  each  machine. 

An  attachment  for  cutting  straight  lines  is  made  to  order. 

Speed,  7,000  to  8,000  revolutions  per  minute. 

Upright  shaft  has  a 9 inch  pulley  for  3 inch  belt,  and  should  run  550 
revolutions  per  minute. 

When  necessary,  this  machine  can  be  made  to  drive  from  above.

Rule  for  Calculating  the  Speeds  and  Diameters 
of  a Pair  of  Pulleys. 


Multiply  the  number  of  revolutions  of  one  pulley  by  its  diameter,  and  divide  the 
product  by  the  diameter  of  the  other  pulley,  the  quotient  will  be  the  number  of  revolu- 
tions of  the  latter;  or,  divide  by  its  number  of  revolutions,  and  the  quotient  will  be  its 
diameter. 


EXAMPLES. 

A 30  inch  pulley  making  180  revolutions  per  minute,  drives  a counter-shaft  with  a 
12  inch  pulley.  What  is  the  speed  of  the  latter? 

180  x 30-f-12=450  revolutions  per  minute. 

A counter-shaft  is  to  make  450  revolutions  per  minute,  driven  by  a 30  inch  pulley 
making  180  revolutions  per  minute.  What  will  be  the  diameter  of  counter-shaft  pulley? 

180  x 30—450=12  inches. 

What  will  be  the  diameter  of  a pulley  making  180  revolutions  per  minute,  to  drive 
a 12  inch  pulley  450  revolutions  per  minute? 

450  x 12-^180=30  inch  pulley. 

In  calculating  toothed  gears,  substitute  the  numbers  of  teeth  for  the  diameters,  and 
proceed  as  above. 


To  Calculate  the  Driving  Power  of  Belts. 

Divide  the  speed  in  feet  per  minute  by  750;  the  product  will  be  the  horse  power  a 
1 inch  single  belt  will  transmit  when  in  good  condition  and  properly  applied.  A 2 inch 
belt  will  transmit  twice  as  much  as  a 1 inch  and  £ as  much  as  a 1 inch  in  addition.  A 3 
inch  belt  4 more  than  a 2 inch,  and  £ as  much  as  a 2 inch  in  addition.  A 4 inch  belt  J 
more  than  a 3 inch,  and  -fo  as  much  as  a 3 inch  in  addition,  and  so  on. 

As  double  belts  can  be  strained  more  tightly  than  single,  they  will  transmit  about  £ 
more  than  the  latter.
